For current decisions about water contact, follow the agency that publishes the advisory. Conditions can change after rainfall, spills, sampling, and new notices.

A small but consequential disclaimer
San Diego Sewage does not test water, issue advisories, or determine whether a beach is safe. It is not a substitute for official guidance. If an official advisory says to avoid water contact, follow it.
